Gator Cases

Gator Cases has built its reputation on innovation, scale, and long-term commitment to protecting musical and professional gear. Founded in 2000 and launched publicly at a major industry trade show with a small line of molded plastic guitar cases, the company quickly identified a broader need across music, pro audio, audiovisual, IT, and general utility markets. Over the years, Gator Cases expanded aggressively, developing one of the most comprehensive case catalogs in the industry with more than 1,000 solutions manufactured using vacuum-formed plastics, rotational-molded plastics, wood, EVA, and sewn materials. This growth positioned Gator not only as a case supplier, but as a full-spectrum design and manufacturing partner for touring professionals, studios, educators, and integrators worldwide.

A major driver of Gator’s success has been strategic investment in U.S.-based manufacturing, acquisitions, and vertical integration. The expansion into rotational molding and percussion cases, followed by the launch of the Frameworks line of stands and support systems, transformed Gator into a one-stop accessories brand for musicians and production professionals. Subsequent acquisitions strengthened its ATA-rated flight case capabilities and expanded into premium leather accessories, further diversifying the product ecosystem. Operating from a large, modern manufacturing and distribution facility in Indiana, Gator continues to scale while staying aligned with its mission of quality, innovation, customer loyalty, and environmental responsibility. Today, Gator Cases stands as a cornerstone brand in the music and pro audio industries, defined by its deep history, manufacturing expertise, and relentless focus on solving real-world gear protection and support needs.
